CHARLES A. I-IAMER, OF SIOUX CITY, IOWA.

IRONINGr-BOARD ATTACHMENT.

Application filed March 27, 1917. Serial No. 157,729.

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. HAMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sioux City. in the county of Voodbury and State of Iowa. have invented certain new and useful lmprovemei'its in Ironing-Board Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an ironing board and the principal object of the invention is to provide means for attaching the board to a table so that the board cannot slide around over the floor nor tip over.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature that can be quickly set. up and easily applied to a table.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which can be cheaply manufactured and one which is simple and durable in construction.

The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combin.a tion and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which:

Figure 1 is a side view of the invention.

Fig. 2 is an end view, with the table re moved.

Fig. 3 shows one of the metal pieces for forming the holding member.

in these drawings, the ironing board is indicated by the numeral 1 and the table by the numeral 2. To the under side of the ironing board is attached by screws or the like two metal clips formed as indicated in F 3. Each clip is formed with an end tongue 41 having an inclined inner edge 5 to form one member of the jaw and with a central broad tongue 6. The clip is bent twice. as indicated in Fig. 3, so as to form a U shaped clip. The clips are then placed together with the tongues l on opposite sides and fastened to the under side of the board.

7 is the leg, having secured at its upper end the two sheets of metal 7, each formed with a curve, as at 8 and recessed on the op posite side, as at 9. to form a jaw 10.

The leg is placed between the two depending portions of the clips 3 and secured therein by a bolt 11 passing through the clips and the members 7 Thus, it will be seen that the jaws 10 are located above the jaws of the metal clips and these jaws are adapted to grip the projecting edge of a table, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

By securing the board to a table, as illustrated, the same is prevented from creeping around over the floor, due to the ironing ac tion and said table is also prevented from tipping over.

liurthernun'e, the braces usually used in ironing tables of this nature are rendered unnecessary by my invention, thus reducing the cost of manufacture and the weight of the board.

It is thought from the foregoing that theadvantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make slight changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided such changes fall CHARLES A. I-IAMER.
